Tracy Morgan Spews Anti-Gay and Homophobic Slurs During Stand-up Show – Fans Walk Out

Some of us know comedian Tracy Morgan from his days on Saturday Night Live.

But most know him from his role as Tracy Jordan on NBC’s comedy “30 Rock” created by Tina Fey.

But there are a growing number of people getting to know Morgan for his stand-up comedy shows and homophobic anti-gay rants.

And last night he may have gone too far.

While performing at the famous Ryman Auditorium in Nashville last night, Morgan went on a homophobic anti-gay rant that sent people heading for the exits.

While some off-color jokes are to be expected during a live stand-up show, we think some of the things Morgan said went a little too far.

Here are a few examples of Tracy’s comments:

“Being gay is a choice because God don't make no mistakes”

"There is no way a woman could love and have sexual desire for another woman"

"Gays need to quit being pussies and not be whining about something as insignificant as bullying"

"Gay is something that kids learn from the media and TV programming"

Morgan went on to say that if his son ever told him he was gay or being bullied that -

“He "better talk to me like a man and not in a gay voice or I'll pull out a knife and stab that little n**** to death"

And he continued even as audience members booed and walked out saying he didn’t care if he pissed of gay people -

“Because if they can take a f***ing dick up their a** they can take a f***ing joke."

He also said that President Obama should “man up” and stop standing up for gay and lesbian teenagers.

There was more - but you get the idea.

Sounds more like hate speech then comedy to me.

Neither Morgan or anybody on his staff have been willing to comment, but the folks at Ryman felt it necessary to clear the air saying,

“The Ryman Auditorium regrets that people were offended by statements made by Tracy Morgan during his June 3 appearance.  The Ryman does not control the content presented by people appearing on its stage, nor does it endorse any of the views of, or statements made by, such persons.”

The sad news is this is not the first time Morgan has upset his audience during his stand-up act.

In 2009, people walked out of his show at Carnegie Hall after the same type of anti-gay comments, and insults against the President and first family saying,

“Obama is really changing the White House because he and Michelle will have the first presidential sex tape out.”

What a different world it is for Morgan outside of his television show.

And we never really “got” Morgan’s role on “30 Rock”.

Think about it, you never really see him do anything for the fake “TGS” show other than screw things up and make life difficult for everybody around him.

Yet, the entire TGS staff seems to fall over each other to try and please him and keep him on a show we never get to see in the first place. Strange indeed.

And the jokes and comments he makes are almost those of a child.

It’s the same thing in real life on the talk show circuit.

Ever seen him on Leno or the Daily Show?

His jokes just aren’t funny and his comments are so “out there” it seems like he is some eighteen year old high school drop out with no education at all.

Good luck Tracy, but don’t confuse the size of your paycheck with the size of your “funny”.

Alec Baldwin Says ’30 Rock’ Ending Next Season – Tina Fey Leaving the Show – Developing

“30 Rock” star Alec Baldwin attended a fundraiser Monday night in New York City when he dropped a bombshell.

Baldwin told reporters that next season will be the LAST season for “30 Rock”. When asked about the award winning sitcom Baldwin answered,

"I will tell you one thing - and that is next year is our last year of the show. Our contracts expire in 2012, and Tina is going to have a big career directing films and writing. She's going to be the next Elaine May. She'll be great."

Okay, we don’t know who Elaine May is but…

Baldwin has hinted around in the past that 2012 would be HIS last year, but this is the first we have heard about Tina Fey leaving. But it only makes sense; I have to admit that I think the show has really gone down in quality this last season.

I think people have grown really tired of Jack and his women problems, and Tracey Morgan is such an idiot that he should be on a children’s show – not a prime time network series. Morgan’s character is so absolutely horrible that it makes you wonder why the show would even want him as host of the fictitious “TGS”.

I’m sure it’s hard to keep the writing and plot mojo of the first couple of seasons going, but if this last season is any indication of what we can expect for the next - then it’s time to pull the plug.

I much rather see Tina Fey in a new, funnier show where she once again has the creative run of the ship and can start with a clean slate.

However, in-as-much as it is Tina’s show (she created it and executive produces it), and with no disrespect to Alec Baldwin, I think we need to wait until we actually hear the same words coming from Tina Fey.

After all, this would not be the first time Baldwin spoke out of turn. This could all just be pre-positioning before next year’s contract negotiations.

And you know that things in Hollywood are never what they seem on the surface…
